I run 30-32 psi in my summers (currently RS4's) and 35psi in my snows (currently iPike RS'), and you can definitely see that the snows make better contact while resting than the summers. Same weight distribution, same alignment, more pressure in the snows.

How did you manage 8* of caster? caster adjustment on the top and offset LCA bushings combined? I'm sure the caster helps a ton in that department. I did look into adding caster after the recent tire change. (What a waste of a pair of good tires... ) I was going to flip the my adjustable tops to maximize the caster (slots pointing inward and backwards) and get the rest of my camber from camber bolts instead of the top hats. That's only if I mount my coilovers. What is the least firm aftermarket bushings available right now? Offset?

At ~ -2.6 degrees camber in the front and 0 degrees toe, i started to get some inner wear on my MPSS towards the end of their life span. I will probably tone the camber down a bit.

My car has a full suspension replacement from SPL Parts. I adjust caster with Front LCAs. You can also run caster offset bushings and high caster camber plates. I am running Vorschlag high caster camber plates which give me a static degree of caster additional. If clocked correctly a caster offset bushing gives 0.5 degrees. With 1.5 degrees over stock the car really wants to be straight which makes highway driving bearable with how shitty the roads are locally, and the dynamic camber gain is significant during cornering which reduces the amount of static camber you have to run thus reducing camber wear on tires. I only run -3.2F static camber, but I have an effective dynamic camber similar to someone running -4F on stock suspension arms. |

Edit: In case OP is looking too. The whitelines with the relief holes looks the softest: Powerflex makes a 'street' and a 'race' spec. Perrin looks metal on metal: Energy suspension with their Red or Black flavors, no offset:
